Pointe Coupee Documents: 1762-1803

Brief descriptions, names of principal parties, full dates, covering approximately 2,000 documents from one of Louisiana s oldest settlements. The earliest (1762-1765) have been missing from the local courthouse for over a century. A major portion of this work (1770-1792) is based on archives that exist only in Spain. An appendix provides succinct, never-before-published data on some 100 Spanish land-grants for the greater Pointe Coupée area, including False River, and a few from Baton Rouge.
